emercency duck care

I’m truly stumped. //Backstory This spring we let my broody fawn and white runner sit on a nest, producing two eggs around three days till hatch. The eggs were taken out of the coup and put in an incubator due to their being Drakes, but sadly only one egg ended up hatching, producing a gorgeous...

This is Alligator Bob. He is brave, smart, handsome, a doer of valorous deeds and much more interesting than Boo, the World’s Cutest Dog. At any rate, poor Bobbie has had a relatively slight penis prolapse for about a month. For a while, I was just keeping an eye on it, applying hydrocortisone...

Hello, I don't know if you seen my previous thread, but Im new to ducks and I have one named Merry. Recently she lost her voice but seemed fine since she was still eating, drinking, and walking around fine. But now she suddenly got worse. Right now I'm waiting on my sister to see if we are going...

Hi I noticed yesterday that my ducks wing was sticking out, and I can’t stop worrying over it, is this normal? Or is his wing broken? I’ll get better pics today (these are from videos I took, so they aren’t the best angle) For context I’m talking about my pekin mix, poly

Earlier today, she was very unwell. Her beak went cold for awhile and she kept stumbling around. We were shocked and worried for her, so we gave her meloxadin oral suspension anti-inflammatory medication. She seemed to feel a little better after that, but shortly later, she was unable to eat and...

Last night one of my drakes was attacked by a raccoon. All of the feathers and skin have been ripped off of the back of his neck, I'm not sure if the same goes for the front. I also believe that he is now blind in one eye as I can see his right eye socket stick out from his head. He's not moving...

This morning one of my two week old Khaki Campbell ducklings fell out of our kiddie pool and possibly broke their leg. They can't stand, and the leg dangles limp. I think the leg is potentially broken above the knee. All of our local vets can't take in ducks. I'm so devastated. Ducky is still...

So, I have three ducks and they live in a cage which I modified for them to live easily. Today, I gave them their breakfast and came back. I heard some noises and went to see what happened. One of my ducks bill was injured and bleeding. I brought it inside to understand what happened. So a piece...

I know this is a chicken website, but I just googled a question for my baby ducklings and it lead me here. If anyone has any advice please help! My daughter and I rescued two baby Mallard ducks (2-3 weeks old) from our backyard. The mother had been attacked and killed by something. I got...

Hello I am new here and need some advice! I bought 6 of the yellow fluffy ducklings from TSC and for under a week they were happy energetic curious cute eating and pooping duckies. They were bigger than the other ducklings so I think they were a week old when I got them. Then within one day I...

I've just saved the last 2 survivors of a clutch of 12 hatched last Thursday by a feral young hen. She has pretty much been leading them to slaughter since Thursday so I today I had enough of hearing their screams and the hawks carry them away. It's also WAY too cold for hatchlings to be...

I have a 5 month old Swedish Blue hen and Ive recently noticed that she has been acting very unusual. She is hardly eating but will drink plenty of water. Her crop is filling and Emptying as normal, so i dont thing it's Pendelous Crop. She wont walk, But will instead scoot herself around. When...

Can anyone please provide a list of essential items to have on hand for both general Muscovy health maintenance and emergency intervention such as vitamins, apple cider vinegar, calcium for egg-laying females, dewormer, charcoal, correct size tubing, etc. with appropriate dosing and anything...
